China have evacuated over 82,000 residents in Beijing due to the threat of heavy rainfall, following the deaths of dozens in the capital's outskirt.

Beijing is no stranger to flooding and disaster, particularly at this time of the year. The deadliest of these floods happened in July 2012, when 190mm of rain drenched the city in a day, killing 79 people. In 2023, heavy rain killed 33 people and left 18 others missing.

Beijing is getting drenched by another round of heavy rain, one week after torrential downpours across parts of the Chinese capital unleashed flooding that claimed at least 44 lives.
